XNView/Vista: Directory context menu not appearing

Post by Wuwa »

File associations and explorer context menus have become difficult in Vista it seems. Quite a few applications don't work this way, also XNview.

What I have: Vista Business.

Current User is in the administrator group. Anyway, I started the XNview setup with "run as administrator". Fine.

Then I started XNview as the currently logged in user. First start, it even asked me about adding "browse with xnview" directory context menu. I checked it cause I want this. Restart xnview, still no directory context menu. I check the respective setting in the options, finish xnview:

Still no "Browse with XNview" directory context menu item.
